After saving 2 kids I got reprimanded for going past flags.
If I wasn't there, kids would have drowned!

They never checked rip tides at correct intervals, never moved flags and weren't there most of the time.
Please help to direct me to correct channels to raise this issue.
Same issue at Sunwhich!
Thanks
